Savage XR & Heroes of Newerth Community

Well I can now play the game installing from the website package without a problem. Installed and ran fine. Desura just keeps failing, but I cant see any /log folder in the Desura SavageXR installation folder (desura/common/savage/) nor in any subfolder.

Ill just stay with the stand alone installation as it seems more of a Desura issue, and Im not sure that would belong anymore to this forum. Thanks for your time.

Hi there, I installed SavageXR through Desura, Im actually running an Ubuntu 12.10 64b OS with 4Gb DDR2-800, OCed Q6600 (@3Ghz) and a Nvidia GT520 graphics card using latest nvidia propietary drivers (310). Im playing fine many other games under Linux both using Desura and Steam, so I assume theres no problem with my graphic card drivers.

The problem is, after I installed the game, and it executed and ran the update all fine, it goes into a blackscreen, no sound, nothing. I cant minimize/alt+tab so Im forced to login to a tty and then restart the lightdm service.

I managed to find the SavageXR config file and changed the fullscreen option to "0", so now at least I can see my computer is not hanging meanwhile. I launched the game also from the terminal, to see If I could get some info about any missing lib or related stuff, but it prints a lot of stuff, and even when I cant see any error Im nt a dev myself so I may be missing something there (I can copy/paste the output if you need). Notice I already have installed the ia32-libs, as Im running few other 32b games under this OS.

I also used "Verify files" option in Desura, but everytime I use it downloads some "missing files", that results in the updater updating again the game after I launch. It goes blackscreen again after that so not a fix. Also tried downloading the game directly and installing normally without Desura, but I get the same.

Any thoughs?
